Newest Spybot version-glitch?

Laptop using XP Pro OS -
DSL modem/ 4 port D-Link router wireless network system.

About thursday or friday of last week, i downloaded & installed the
newest version of Spybot S & D.
As suggested by the webmaster, before installing the new version, i
turned-off the old active protection(s) & then uninstalled the older
version.

I completed the new version install & downloaded the latest updates &
activated all new protections....everything went fine!
However, i noticed, a day later, that my remote printing ability from
my laptop to my office's network printer quit functioning.
BTW- The only new program that was installed and/or uninstalled during
the past couple of weeks, was this Spybot program.

After 3 days of diagnostics, i & 2 computer experts, failed to find the
problem.

Finally, to fix it, we had to do a system "Restore" back to the Monday,
previous to the install.
Anyone else come across this (likely) glitch?
